When an agrarian people began to plant, every time they ate acorns meant war, famine, or misery of being ruled by a foreign race.

Although Jian Chen said it proudly, he also knew that it was just a beautiful dream to never have to eat acorns again.

Pi Rixiu, a genius in the late Tang Dynasty, once had an oak sigh: The acorns are ripe in the late autumn, scattered hazelnuts and Wugangs, and the yellow hair is beautiful, and the morning frost is picked up. When the time is shifted, the basket is full, and it is steamed several times after several exposures, and is used as three winter grains......

I'm afraid that this vested interest in Dr. Taichang, who was once an official, may also have a little dream of letting people in the world no longer have to eat acorns, so he joined the even more unreliable Yellow Nest.

In today's world, in Chen Jian's eyes, there are only a hundred miles in radius, and there are more than 1,000 people, who have the ability to make this "world people" not eat acorns.

In fact, he had long known the possible consequences of eating acorns, but he remembered the meaning of his grandmother's words, that only those who have experienced pain can know the value of happiness. People who prevent their suffering in advance are often forgotten.

In any case, this winter of eating acorns, these tribes will definitely remember Chen Jian and remember the protection and guidance of their ancestors.

The black and white flag fluttering in the wind, the strange looking clothes, will also become the hope and expectation of these people in times of suffering, and that is enough.

After accompanying these people to eat this non-bitter acorn, Jian Chen and the people were about to get up and say goodbye.

The leader was ruthless and hoped that Jian Chen would stay for another day, and she would kill the fattest sheep.

"No, since we are the same ancestor, the greatest hope of the ancestors is that we get better and better, as long as you remember that all this comes from the protection of the ancestors."

The leader nodded again and again and said that he would definitely not forget, and turned around with the clansmen to kill the sheep, Chen Jian did not stop, said to the children in the cave, took the clansmen away, and shouted from afar to let them keep it for themselves to eat.

The leader hurriedly ran back from the sheepfold, nagged a few words about why the people in the cave didn't stop him, and his eyes swept around the cave a few times, and finally found a few dried meat that he had not been willing to eat.

Call some of the best lads in the clan and let them ride the horned deer in pursuit at once. A few young men solemnly stepped on the horned deer, chased after Chen Jian, and stuffed the few pieces of dried meat that they had been reluctant to eat into the wicker basket on the grass plow.

The leader stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the distant figures of Chen Jian and the others, and looking at the flag from afar until it disappeared.

A child stood beside the chief, raised his head and asked, "Grandmother, the ancestors will always protect us, right?" ”

She kindly stroked the child's pigtails, nodded and said, "Yes, they will always protect us." ”

"Then when are we going to the village? I really want to go to the village, but I miss my mother and you ......."

The leader looked at the nine-year-old child, smelled the smell of the land that had been planted, picked up the child and said, "When the apricots are yellow, let's go together, and live in the village, you can play in the village, you can also see us, see your mother." ”

The child cheered and asked, "Don't we live here?" ”

"I don't live here anymore, let's move in when the apricots are yellow, let's live in the house and never eat acorns again."

Similar conversations echoed through the caves in the mountains, and every tribe that Jian Chen visited discussed the matter.

This time, Jian Chen did not mention a word about letting them move out of the mountains, and he did not even mention related topics. It's just like the flame after the snow, which makes these people feel warm in the coldest time, and this seemingly unintentional fire burns out the last bit of doubt in their hearts.

Except for staying in the first tribe for two days to see the effect, the rest of the tribes are all going and leaving, and the time is short.

In eight days, I traveled to ten tribes, brought simple medicines, and gained the trust of these people, and the black and white flag finally stood up in the hearts of these people.

Calculating the time, there are still seven or eight days to prepare to punish those tribes, and I have to prepare when I go back.

On the way back, Jian Chen kept telling Song what to say when he went to a foreign tribe in the future, and summarized as much as possible some of the methods he knew to treat minor problems.

Loosely remembered, he could see that Jian Chen took this matter very seriously.

"When you get back, prepare and set off as soon as possible, and you don't have to participate in the punishment of those tribes. In addition, you need a few women with you, and there are some things that you and women can't talk about. ”

Having said that, women are not easy to find, the adult women in the clan are basically pregnant, and Jian Chen will have an extra brother or sister next year.

When he approached the village, he saw his cousin Lancao carrying water there, and Jian Chen waved at Lancao and asked her to come over.

It's been four or five months since the last Xinghuang, and Lancao is obviously not pregnant, so it's a personal choice.

Lan Cao pulled her hair and walked over, and without waiting for Jian Chen to speak, she said first: "Brother, you came back just in time, I have something to tell you." I'm pregnant. ”

Several clansmen next to him laughed, and Jian Chen also smiled: "It's a good thing, there is another child in the clan." Did the old grandmother know? Does our family know about it? ”

"Got it, I'm waiting for you to come back."

Jian Chen is a little strange, it's a good thing that my sister is pregnant these days, even if you don't know who the child's father is, it's a thing worth celebrating, what's wrong today?

After thinking for a while, Jian Chen asked, "The child is from the Stone Clan?" ”

Lan Cao nodded, and pointed to a few Shi clansmen who were busy in the distance: "It's not his, it's his, or it's his, anyway, it's the three of them." One is good-looking, one weaves garlands for me and plays the bone flute, and the other is fast when he works. I don't know who it is, but it's definitely the three of them, and I just think these three are good. ”

When Jian Chen heard this, his heart pounded, he patted his thigh happily, and asked excitedly, "They fought because of you?" ”

Lan Cao asked inexplicably, "Fight for me?" Why fight? ”

"Didn't fight? So what are you waiting for me to do? ”

Lan Cao frowned and said: "Shi and the old grandmother are discussing this matter, not only me, but also a woman in their tribe is pregnant, and it is the child of our tribe." The three people also wanted the child to know that they were their bloodline, and they didn't know who the child belonged to before, but now that they knew, they felt that half of the child belonged to their clan. ”

Jian Chen subconsciously said, "What do you mean? They want this child? How can that work! ”

After finishing speaking, I thought that I was really assimilated by this era when I said this, and I subconsciously said it, and only after my head sobered up did I realize that I was wrong.

When I hurriedly walked into the house, there were already several people sitting in the room, discussing this matter.

In the past, everything in the tribe was handled by the experience passed down from the ancestors, but now more and more experience has become meaningless, and it is not even possible to deal with what is happening now.

There is a rule of non-marriage in the clan, and the child born is naturally a member of the tribe. I didn't know who the child's father was, and even if I did, it was far away, and I wouldn't see each other at all.

The incident encountered by the women of the Kelan Grass and the Stone Tribe was completely different from before, even if they were not sure who the child's father was, they could determine that the child's bloodline belonged to two families, which was a big deal.

The stone and the people did not fight for the unborn child, but they felt something different. After all, this is the first child born to a woman of his own clan, but it is certain that he also has his own clan blood.

They hope that this child can remember his tribe, and for the first time, the three men have the feeling of being fathers for the first time, and naturally share some of the pampering that they used to be uncles to this unborn child, which is the continuation of their own bloodline in this world!

Jian Chen has never been a father, but he can guess this feeling. When the people in the room saw Jian Chen coming back, they hurriedly asked, "Jian, do you know?" ”

"Got it."

Shi said: "This child always has the blood of our tribe, now is not the past, as long as you know who your mother is, you have to know who your mother gave birth to him." Half of the child's blood is surnamed Shi. ”

The old grandmother shook her head and said, "It has always been like this before, a woman's child is a woman's. ”

"It used to be, my mom didn't know who she had with me, and I don't remember who she had with me, but this one is different. We don't want this child, but we want this child to know that he is also our relative. ”

"Let Lancao tell the child in the future."

"How's that going to work? Why did Ken draw the tribal oath on a clay tablet? Why don't you just tell your child? My surname is Shi, and if I know my name, I know that I belong to this tribe. The surname is the painting engraved on the clay tablet. ”

The old grandmother said a little unhappily: "Did you let this child be surnamed Shi?" That kid still has half the blood of our tribe. How can there be this child without a woman? ”

"Of course, it's not surnamed Shi, but I have to let him know. Besides, you can't have children without a man! Guy, tell me about it. ”

Chen Jian didn't expect these people to take the bloodline so seriously, it is said that he supports the child to follow his father's surname, which is an inevitable trend, but now the people who propose it will definitely not accept it, and the change of concept is by no means overnight.

He thought about it for a while, and now it would be good to have the concept of a father, so he could only transition little by little, so he whispered: "Or...... Or this child has two surnames? This child has both our blood and yours, and he will not be able to mingle with us in the future. ”

At this time, I can only think of this idea of harmony with the mud, some things need a material foundation, and a man cannot fully support most of the survival needs of the tribe in a day, and the son is a castle in the air with his father's surname.

More and more people gathered in the house, women from both races were pregnant, and both men and women wanted to know what to do in the future.

They have never experienced this kind of thing, so they will naturally think a lot, what will this child do when he grows up and can give birth to a baby in the future? It is definitely necessary to distinguish who can have dolls and who are their blood relatives and cannot have dolls together. In the past, only the mother's relatives had to be considered, but in the future, the men's relatives will have to be considered.

More and more tribes will move here, and this kind of thing is expected to be more and more, and it would be good to come up with a charter sooner.

The double surname will definitely be eliminated in the future as a transition, but it will take time. As soon as Jian Chen's idea was said, everyone in the room agreed, thinking that it was a good idea, but there were more important questions next.

Which of the two surnames comes first? Which comes last?

As Jian Chen guessed, the first tear between men and women broke out in this room, regardless of kinship, only gender.

"The child has always followed his mother, so it's good for the child to know your man's surname, and you still want to put it in front?"

"We can hoe, we can chop wood, we can fight, can you?"

"We used to pick fruit, but how much prey could you shoot before we made a bow and arrow? I can't catch a deer for days, and without our fruit, you men would have starved to death! ”

"Now we don't have to eat the fruit! It's enough to plant wheat beans, we can plow hundreds of steps a day, how many can you plan? ”

"Go spin a thread and see! After spinning for a while, you can't sit still like you've been bitten by a snake......"

More and more noises made the two leaders and Chen Jian restless, and they kept scolding the men and women who were talking more and more outrageous.

The power of inertia is huge, and it is torn to the end, or the female surname is in front and the male surname is in the back.

The women are triumphant, the men are also very satisfied, at least they have children, and they are not only uncles.

Jian Chen looked at those triumphant women, and said in his heart: "Let you be happy for a few years first, when the clansmen get used to settlement and agriculture, when someone thinks about getting married and separating out, and when the men can support the life of the family, you will lose...... And the next time you're eligible to tear it apart, it's after industrialization and the world wars. ”
